Well, tomorrow I find out if I am "Tickle Pink. Promise to let you know.

Hubby and I had a nice day yesterday. Weather was perfect for Rendezvous at his black powder club. Hubby even came in fourth place in a shoot. Proud of him - he selected four already cured cast iron skillets. ( small to large) AS me I played games with the kids that showed up. But hubby and I got time to talk - gossip - collect hugs - joked - eat good food and just relax. So relaxed I forgot to take any pictures. I realized that this morning.

I was happy to see some persons - teh Clarks. MR. clark is a master nettle weaver and he had been teaching me how. I was thrilled I had found the second loom he had made me - lost first in flood. So I brought it along and I had started a pouch. He checked it over and said I was doing a find job and very proud of me. Oh did my heart leap. He even gave me more nettles to hopefully finish this pouch.

Other than that - no new gossip. I am waiting for hubby to get home to help unload groceries and then have the time to make a cake.

wish all that your weekend is fun and relaxing too. hugs

Comment by Buckeyebill on August 22, 2015 at 7:33pm: Get a Japanese phase book. Learn just a few phases and the Japanese will warm up to you. Have a great visit.....

Comment by T-Lynn on August 18, 2015 at 6:10pm: He is so precious Kim. Maybe soon he will like the swing.

Hope this finds all doing well. I finally will have that last - I mean last appointment to get the crown. During the last appointment - they were trying to match my tooth color for the new crown. I stated I would rather the crown to be Flamingo Pink. The dentist said he can do that. So ladies, if I say I am tickled pink - you know I got it.

Going to get off - weather alarm went off earlier and now sky is changing. I know for sure that a BIG thunderstorm will get here, but not sure if it will be really severe. The weather cat - Mater is not hiding.

Hey wish all a good evening. hugs

Comment by Kim on August 17, 2015 at 10:18am: I like daddy's picnic.

Comment by Kim on August 17, 2015 at 10:16am: I don't like the swing daddy!

Comment by T-Lynn on August 15, 2015 at 11:22am: HI

Comment by Jesusintheboat on August 13, 2015 at 5:18pm: Just heard about this book from another military mom if anyone would be interested in reading it i am getting mine from the library otherwise you can get it from amazon Be Safe Love Mom Elaine Brye

Comment by Kim on August 13, 2015 at 6:42am: Google "cake apo fpo". A nice selection will come up. I prefer brownies to cake if I am making homemade. I would use a sealer to package the cooled brownies and send store bought tin of icing. My son asked for my fudge every month. It seals and ships really easy. He shared.
